Need help overhauling my portfolio
I'm overhauling my portfolio. Previously, I just listed pretty much every site I've done. I'm looking to change it into more of a "success stories" section.
Anyway, I'd like you guys to take a look at my portfolio and list the top 5 sites that you would pick to put in a portfolio. A huge factor is good design, but also the content of the actual site, where it's still online. And if there's already a decent testimonial, that helps as well.

So which 5 would you pick?

Of the ones you have published, these are my faves...
http://www.brochuretowebsite.com
http://www.heavenlyharvestcoffee.com
http://www.loomisinsurance.com
http://www.megguess.com
http://www.tap2006.biz
Probably best to exclude http://www.placeofprayer.org/ until you get it fixed

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I discovered after that site was hacked that with the hosting plan I chose, it's apparently my responsibility to back-up the database.
I'm getting some software to automatically do that for me, and plan to start over on the content at that point.

I work for a hosting provider and we take backups of everything, but it's for disaster recovery more than anything else. As a web designer, I provide a simple PHP script for my customers and make them very aware that it's THEIR responsibility to make backups. If they want me to do it, they have to enter into a maintenance contract.

I only set up hosting for continuing clients, so no problem there.
Was there a point to your reply, Demonhale? Don't reply to threads unless you're going to add something meaningful to the conversation. It wastes my time when I come back to check these threads, see there's a new reply, and read it only to find it says "Ditto." Please don't waste my time with replies that don't say anything at all.
I welcome meaningful contributions to the discussion. Now, back to my portfolio...
Addendum: One of the other moderators deleted the original post, so that's why this seems to refer to a post that's not there. It's because it does.

You asked which five we would pick for your portfolio showcase, and by retyping the same five sites andy mentioned is also a waste of time, so I decided to ditto on andys five choices, which I was hoping you would appreciate as far as those would be great portfolio choices, so you want me to retype those links? So i wasted your time, and I wasted my time checking out your portfolio and having the same opinions as andy... then I wont respond much to yur help calls when Im wasting your time...

Choosing five is pretty hard Tim, I can't really decide. But I can tell you that I like http://www.tandswebdesign.com/portfolio/details.php?client=24 the best. A close runner up would be http://www.tandswebdesign.com/portfolio/details.php?client=33.
